Hello I have a sky track 6000m that I’m having issues troubleshooting. All functions for the fork in/out don’t work (functions for when the button is pressed down). Also one of the attachment functions are inop. I have read through other threads and I have had no luck with ts. Is there anyone that is familiar with those or anything they would check? Thanks

Have you tried looking in the TM (Technical Manual) for the SkyTrack?

At the end of the boom, there is a junction box. Open it up and see if it has water in it and if the Circuit Card is damaged/burnt up. Also check the joy stick cables, wires and plugs. BUT first spend some time reading the TM, so you understand what is supposed to happen when when you initiate the varies functions.

Is there a way to test the circuit card? I have 24v coming in but with the joystick button pushed in and stroked there is no output. I will read through the manual in the meantime. Thanks!

There is a thread in the forum where someone tested and repaired the card. Its been a long time ago. But I do remember it. Try looking a bit more in the forum.

You might also try cleaning those four wires at the bottom and at the top of the "card". That white crusty looking stuff will keep you from transmitting power correctly. Clean them - one at the time - then put some anti-oxidation paste on each contact. Do the same on those four at the top as well...

Let us know how it goes.

Will do this. Thanks for the advice!

Does anyone know it the circuit card controls the “fork spread/retract” (in/out). I’m having a hard time understanding the schematic. It looks like it controls the auto level but I wasn’t sure if it controlled anything else. Thank you
